COVID-19 Vaccination Improved Psychological Distress (Anxiety and Depression Scores) in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Prospective Study

Helena Garcia-Llana et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on anxiety and depression scores in patients with different types of chronic kidney disease. The findings showed a decrease in anxiety and depression symptoms in chronic kidney disease patients after vaccination. However, there were no significant differences in depression or anxiety scores between the treatment groups, nor any differences in health-related quality of life. The participants' main fears were related to adverse effects, not receiving the vaccine, and lack of information. These findings highlight the importance of assessing psychological variables related to the impact of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and further studies are needed to evaluate comprehensive vaccine coverage and its psychological impact.
